Focus

Focus requirements for UH transfer students (within-UH system
transfer) are determined by the year
students enter the UH system and the number of credits that UH Mānoa
accepts. The following table applies to students who
entered
a
UH campus in Spring 2005 or later. Students who entered UH prior to Spring 2005
should check with a UH Mānoa college advisor to determine their Focus
requirements.

Hawaiian or Second Language

UHM Hawaiian
or Second Language Requirement (HSL)

Most
students are required to show competence at the 202 (or
equivalent) level in Hawaiian or a second language by doing one
of the following:

a) completing a
four-semester sequence (usually 101, 102, 201, and 202) in a
single language
b) demonstrating competence by taking a UH Mānoa
exam if one is offered. Check with the UHM language department
in question
c) receiving a language-requirement waiver.
For example, waivers may be given to students who are native
speakers of a language other than English. Contact the College
of Languages, Linguistics, and Literature for details.

The Hawaiian or Second Language requirement
has been modified or waived for students in the following
schools and colleges: College of Business; College of Education;
College of Engineering; School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene;
School of Ocean, Earth Science, and Technology; College of
Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. Students in these
colleges/schools should consult a
college advisor. Students should be aware that changing
their major may change their Hawaiian or Second Language
requirement.

Credits for Previous Language Experience

All UHM students under the current General Education
requirements with experience in a language other than English
(including native speakers) may earn “back credits.” These
students may take any UH Mānoa course, appropriate to their
level, in which there is significant use of that language.
(Appropriate level determined by placement exam or advisor;
significant use determined by the course content.) Upon
completion of this course, if students earn a letter grade of C
(not C-) or better, they will receive between 3 and 16 back
credits.
Back credits may be earned for only one
language. The student must take the course for a letter grade
(not credit/no credit). Other restrictions also apply. Check
with the appropriate language department for details and forms
or at the HSL General Education website.

TOTAL CREDITS

Language courses taken at Kapi'olani CC

Almost all lower-division language courses are
currently accepted; the 4-semester language sequences (101, 102, 201,
202) are accepted. American Sign Language courses are currently
accepted.

* Foundations and Diversification courses are reviewed every five years to
ensure the courses continue to meet the Hallmarks of the General Education area.

**Course no longer offered. After UHM Admissions & Records evaluates your
community college transcript, you will receive a transfer evaluation report that
will state how this course transfers to UHM.
